I'ma be a lawyer! I'ma be a lawyer!
I very rarely have a busy day, so I think I need to write about the one I had today.
I got to Lynchburg College around 10AM and went to a pre-law fair they were having, it was mostly people who were juniors or seniors in college who were looking for a good law school, but I felt I should go as a means of gathering information on the different kinds of law there are to practice. I got some helpful info including a practice test for the LSAT's, the bar exam you take to get into law school, similar to the SAT's. The thing I like about the LSAT's is that it isn't all legal jargon, it is something anyone can take, and later on I will type out some questions for everyone to answer so that you can see how easy it is. While walking around I got invited to a luncheon that was being held, but I wasn't dressed properly for the fair, at least in comparison to everyone else, so I didn't attend. I walked around the campus for a bit to get a feel for things, and I really wish I had had a camera with me, the leaves falling and the brick buildings with a small bell tower, it was quite the awesome scene. Anyway, I stopped in the student lounge area and got some Swedish Fish and a drink..mm..and I talked to an Austrian man who was studying abroad at LC. That was interesting. After watching the election coverage for a bit on the televison in the lounge, I walked outside to wait for my ride, and ended up stumbling into the admissions office to schedule a tour, lucky me, the next tour was at 1 and I signed up.
After I got home around 12 to wait, I was hoping to find some people to go with me, but no one was online except David who wasn't interested. So, I went by myself ..it
was kinda odd, seemed like things were set up that way on purpose...3 groups...One rish family, two boys decked out in Abercrombie, and a very vain mother, and a dad who seemed to stick in the background, but was definitley the money-maker. Then A mother, who had a mullet and shirt with holes in it, and a fat daughter with a belly shirt on, and finally me in the middle, no parents, by myself. It was interesting to watch them. After the tour was done, I was asked to come back into a room to be interviewed for admission, something I had not expected. The gentleman was a coach of some sport or another, and was very nice, I got good vibes off of him. I explained several things to him, about my grades, my SAT scores, my aspirations. He loved it, and said I have a good chance of getting accepted. I find out Thursday when I get interviewed at school whether I get accepted or whether they wait for my first semester grades. I had another bite in the lounge, only because I wanted to go back in, and I had to be doing something to feel not quite so awkward. Now, for LSAT questions:
1) French Divers recently found a cave along the Mediterranean Sea. The caver is accesable only through an underwater tunnel. The interior of the cave is completely filled with seawater, and the floor covered in stalagmites, stone pillars that form from the repeated dropping of water in one place, and leave behind mineral deposits.
The information above supports which of the following:
A. The Med. Sea was once at a higher level than it is now.
B. The water level is now higher than is was at one point
C. There was once another entrance to the cave then there is now.
D. Water in the Med. Sea once had high mineral content than it does now.
More to come, I have to get ready for work..in the mean time, here is the essay question at the end of the test:
You own a bookstore, and have recently bought a closed store adjacent to yourself. You have two options, you can start carrying bestsellers and more non fiction to get publishers to bring authors, and more attention to your downtown bookstore, since no one else has one, but lose all the room you have for first edition and specialty books that you have set aside for well known customers. Or, you can expand with a cafe, and create a more relaxed atmosphere, and keep your stock of mostly used books and keep your regular customers, and make more revenue from the cafe part.
Tell which plan is better and supprt your claim. BTW I edited this for length, when I get home I will type up the whole thing, please answer them though, thanks.
